TRUE INDEPENDENCE 2 - LA VRAIE INDEPENDENCE 2

Every individual has roots somewhere on this planet. Since none of us fell from the skies, we must be able to identify ourselves with a particular culture and lifestyle. The world is an interesting place of multicultural views and interests. Once you are able to identify your roots and are properly integrated with your roots, it makes it easy for you to associate with others without any sense of inferiority. The problem most people have that keeps them form maximizing their potentials and their associations, is that they would rather see the world from "borrowed" glasses. They will not view from their own glasses because the feel that the view they will get will be inferior. When people distance themselves from their cultures or out rightly deny any association with such cultures, most times, they are left in limbo because they would be neither here nor there. There is a difference when you decide to adopt some elements of another culture in order to achieve your goals and when you have deliberately choose to do away with yours out of the fact that you are ashamed to be associated with that life style. When you don't approach life with a sense of completeness, it will be difficult for you to live life to the full because inside you there will still be this nagging feeling of incompleteness no matter what you achieve. Keep your own glasses on, they are prescribed specifically for you.
